Cards by the Cricut

One of my resolutions this year is to use my Cricut a whole lot more.  My mom got me the Gypsy for Christmas (who could resist all those $100 deals?!?!), so I've been using that some too.  (I've found it helps when the baby is sick of me sitting up, so I can relocate to the recliner and plan my mat before I cut without the back pain.)  These four cards were for an Easter card swap on swap-bot.  I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

I used Gypsy Wanderings for this one.  It really has an odd mix of images- holidays and then general stuff like keys and hearts and stars and stuff.  I wish I had a box for it so I could see them all rather than on that tiny little Gypsy screen!

I didn't even use my Cricut for this one, just my Cuttlebug and favorite Stampin Up die.  There was a card like this on the cover of Papercrafts this month, so that's where I got my inspiration.

I used Celebrate with Flourishes for this card.  I love that cartridge, but it drives me crazy how every image has four colors in it!  But with the help of the gypsy and a bunch of paper scraps it wasn't too bad.

I can't remember for sure, but I think I used Just Because Cards for this little chick and Mini Monograms for the scallop circle.  Let me tell you that getting those words to print on my computer to match with the card was quite the undertaking!  I'm rather proud of myself to see it worked out.
